FORGIVENES­S RATING

-

The i200 replaced the “i” iron, and the face is 30% thinner, meaning more mass is positioned in the toe and heel to nudge MOI 7% higher. A higher leading edge and extra bounce improves turf inter-action and means less lost energy at impact.

Good players still want forgivenes­s, but not at any cost. So the first priority is producing a good looking head, or better players simply won’t use them, next is forgivenes­s. That’s where the i200 comes into its own. Yes, some will accuse it of being a bit boxy (like our test pro), but it’s a look Ping have made their own. And it’s this ability to marry good looks with lots of playabilit­y which makes the i200 an outstandin­g choice for reasonable club golfers; our 11-handicap still wants a set, proving just how wide an audience they appeal to. The sleek, hydropearl finish looks great too.
